Welcome Back has started well at box office. Film has posted a very well 14.35 crore nett approx on Friday (First Day) at box office. Film started decently in Morning shows reporting occupancy of around 35%. After that film picked up in Noon and Afternoon shows to report occupancy of around 40-45%. Film picked up huge from Evening onwards and from then on occupancy on average for the rest of shows was around 65-70%. There are some issues with around 300 digital prints on day one, otherwise collection would have been higher.

Welcome Back is now set to record good first weekend total as Saturday and Sunday numbers are bound to be higher than that of Friday. Audience feedback is mostly positive and hence it has real chance of chasing 50 crore nett weekend. Film is now almost certain to post second biggest opening of the year behind Bajrangi Bhaijaan as far as first weekend is concerned.
